ChapterÂ 12.Â PO Translations

12.1.Â Introduction

The GNUgettext system offers
translators an easy way to create and maintain translations of
documents. Translatable strings are extracted from the original
document into a PO (Portable Object) file.
Translated versions of the strings are entered with a separate
editor. The strings can be used directly or built into a
complete translated version of the original document.
